“I’m like, ‘We’re a really talented team. Like, we can be really good.’“

In 3-5 years when Burrow becomes our OC and Aranada the HC...Bama fricked

Finally a QB with “football intelligence” coupled with athletic ability.

When he scrambled left, with a defender training, I got worried, but he got the ball out quickly.

This kid is the answer. I have no idea how people refused to acknowledge how big a deal this guy was going to be for our program.

He’s a coach’s son that was Mr Football from Ohio that has learned under Urban Meyer for over three years. You couldn’t build a more prototypical college QB if you tried, and he has the attitude of an absolute champion.

Burrow was pressured relentlessly Sunday night by the Miami D, yet was only sacked twice, had a few throw aways, and threw NO INTs. He also showed his football smarts by his reads, checks, and audibles.

That's the kind of smarts and awareness I expected of him all along, even though many had to wait and see to believe it for themselves.

Comparing this to a game I well remember as a Buckeye fan, with a lesser QB, that game could have easily been like the 2014 OSU-VaTech game and JT Barrett's college debut game where he threw 3 INTs and OSU lost by 14. Instead, Burrow made no mistakes that gave the other team any points and made plays that put points on the board.

LSU found it running back too, now the OLine needs to give Burrow more time, and his real ability as a passer will shine.

I'm expecting great things of this Tiger team.

That's like, a fer sure.

I see some moron downvoted you.

Anyone who downvotes your post has to be an LSU hater or a Miami or Bama fan.

OK, I'll stick my neck out there, so have fun.

I don't think you can say "He's the one" after that game. I think he did a great job of maintaining his composure and not panicking and making stupid mistakes. Now, does that mean he's great? Or did we just get so used to terrible decision making from our QB's that this makes him look like the next great thing?

There were some dropped passes, and some throws that could have been better, but it was the first game at that speed so I don't think that stuff is all that important yet.

The play calling was kind of vanilla, but maybe that was to let him ease into the game and we never really had to get away from that.

All and all, solid first start, but there is no way we can glean from that game how good he really is (or isn't for that matter). So to say "he's the one", is very much premature.

Joe was legit and not even being as a-hole when he said it

The legend grows :

Jeaux "Big Throw" Burreaux

The only knock on him is that he does not have a cannon. That was the knock coming in and probably why he lost the job to Haskins.

He's not Danny Wuerrfel, mind you. Just average. But he is damn accurate AND has a super fast release, which overcompensates for his average arm strength.

Everything else is textbook what you want in a QB
